Modified on: Wed, Feb 5 2025 1:20 PM

This article is for users outside of Stevens to learn how to access a shared file or folder from a Stevens user on SharePoint.


Step 1: You will receive an email stating that a member of Stevens has shared a folder of file with you. Select Open to access the folder or file. 


Note: If you did not receive an email to access the shared folder or file, please contact the person who is sharing with you directly.





Step 2: 
If it is the first time you are accessing the folder or file, enter your email address then select Next


Note: Enter the email address that the folder or file was shared with, this does not need to be a Stevens email address




Step 3: Review the permissions requested and select Accept


Step 4: If this is not the first time you are accessing the folder or file, enter the email address that the folder or file was shared with and select Next




Step 5: To verify your identity a code has been sent to your email (the code is active for 30 minutes). Enter the code and select Verify to continue accessing the shared folder or file.




Step 6: You will now be able to access the shared folder or file online through SharePoint.
